Mow an English Jury Dispatches Its Business. The working o( tiro HrltLsh Jury ti.vsiuin exhibits a marked contrast wilb that of our own. It Is possible that my experience In British courts was exceptional, but In not a single liisiauro did 1 see a juror challenged or rejected. In all of the courts re quiring juries the necessary number of men were present and they were sworn In without question. In in sheriff's deputy court In Sett land the presiding judge guvo notice to the Jury that ho expected to adjourn the court at 2 o'clock, and slated that tt they could all remain until that hour he would at once dismiss the men who hud been called for a second panel. The jurors conferred together to remain till 1 o clock, where upon the judge notified the other men to appear at 12:3d. The oue jury Im paneled for the morning session ren dered six verdicts In cases involving prosecutions for thefts, fraud and bur glary. In the court of quarter sessions at Taunton, Eugland, I saw a single jury In one day render eleven verdicts. 1 found that It was customary in the several sorts of ccntt that 1 attended for the same jury to act in successive cases. In no Instance did 1 see a jury leave their seats to make up their verdict. Usually the issue be fore them was made so plain that all who gave attention knew in advance whai the decision would oe. 1 made note of an exceptional Instance of de lay ( when the court was forced to wait nine minutes for the report of the jury. In this case the Judge who gave the Instructions was hitnself in doubt as to what the verdict ought to be. "A Scottish Jury consists of fifteen ; persons, hik! a majority may render a verdict. In England the number is twelve, and unanimity ts nsjuired. Hut 1 noted no difference as to prac-1 ticai results in the two countries. The twelve men in the English Jury were as prompt and certain in their action as were the eight out of fifteen in the Scottish Jury.—McClure's. P. M L. D A. H. ALL IN ONE MR. W. B HOWARD SUCCEEDS MR.

Augusta is one of the few large cities in the United States where each household is not provided with a box for the receptacle of the mall delivei ed by carriers, and as a conseuenc*. much delay is caused in the delivery service from the post office. Re peated efforts have been made to ge. citizens to install receptacles of some kind, but not much success has been had. In order for the carrier to deliver mail at a house where there is no receptacle provided, he is obliged to wait some time, three minutes or more, for the servant or some one else to come to the door. By law he is not required to wait more than five minutes. The delay in the carrier service will be appreciated by the fol lowing figures. A delay of three minutes at each house would mean the loss of five hours should the car rier be delayed at one hundred houses on. the route The authorities are de sirous that citizens see the delay they are giving the service, and place re ceptacles for their mail. The loss of mail from these boxes is with gov ernment prosecution in which sent ences are very heavy. At the next con gress a law will he probably passed which will force citizens on a carrier route to provide receptacles for the mail. A DEADLY SHOT. "Yes, sir,” said old .man Braggard, "as soon as I see them birds I went into the house and took down the old blunderbuss «nd pf'gsrpri at ’em an’, by Gorry! I brought down thutty birds to one shot. Can ye beat that?” “Ya-as,” drawled Uncle Si Peavey*. “Ye know Bill Wiggins’ frog pond?” “Yes,” said old man Braggard “What of It?” “Wall, I went down there the other night after sundown to shoot a couple of bullfrogs with my old shotgun,” said Uncle SI. “There was 6,000 of ’em set tin’ on there Illy pads, and I just lift ed that there gun to my shoulder ana let her go.” “S'pose ye did,” said old man Brag gard. “How does that effect my bird story?” “Beats it all holler,” retorted Uncle Si. “The minute my gun went off the hull derned 5,000 bulfrogs croaked.”—Ex change.
